IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED CANDLESTICKAND MATCH-SAFE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 209,565, dated November 5, 1878; application filed February 25, 1878,

To all whom'it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUSTAVE E. HEINiG, of Louisville, in the county of Jefferson, in the State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improved Candlestick and Match-Safe Combined, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings illustrative thereof, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View, and Fig. 2 a vertical section, with the socket in side view.

The invention relates to a combined candlestick and match-safe; and it consists in a candlestick-post having a recess formed in its lower end, constituting a match-safe, and having a candle-socket attached to itsupper end, the two being upon opposite sides.

The letter A designates a base of a candlestick, from which rises a post, in the lower end of which is formed a cavity, B, constituting a match-safe. At the upper end of this post is attached a candle-socket, O, of cylindrical shape, open at both ends, and having the slot E extending from end to end. This socket is of spring-steel or other metal, and it is open at both ends to permit the insertion of the candle is much more readily and easily effected. I

By making the candle-socket post with the match-safe B there is economy of parts, and also compactness in the finished article.

What I claim is- The post of a candlestick having at one end a match-safe, integral therewith, and the candle-socket at its other end, and upon the opposite side, substantially as described.

GUSTAVE E. HEINIG.
